    I would love to see 95. This has been the hottest summer I can remember, I think 30+ days over 100. Forecast today: sunny and 100. But I am heading to the mountains Saturday, high there has been about 72 the last week.

    I went to Whole Paycheck thinking I'd get some supplies for the week for the office so I don't have to bring a lunch to work. A co-worker told me their 365 brand is competitive with "normal" grocery store brand.

    Well, it's true. Wow. Milk a whole 50 cents cheaper than my "regular" grocery at home. So I loaded up on that and other stuff and ended up sweating my way back to the office.

    Quick: a calculator -

    Home: Milk is 3.99 - five miles from home (closest store) - sweaty 20 min uphill bikeride home.

    Office: At wholefoods 3.49 - sweaty walkin' mile from office (32 from home... so it has to go home on the bus then bike pannier for 20 min uphill bikeride home...)

    Was it worth it?
    I can do five more miles.

    Well if you consider the extra work a benefit, yes. You got a walk, a little extra weight on the climb to help sculpt lovely legs. If it were 100 degrees there like here and you got home with spoiled milk, no.

    I really despise SPAM text messages. I can handle them in my email but my phone I get excited thinking it is DH (we text at lunch/break). Now I just see it was a phishing thing trying to get me to call about some non-existent bank account. I wish it had been my sweetie.

    Thumbs up artic air once again

    New circuit board, new theromostat - a/c is working again. Nala the dog and the kitties are much happier. Their mom is estatic, until she got the bill. Isn't that what a savings account is for?

    My new thermostat talks too. So long as it doesn't do wolf whistles as I streak from the bathroom to the bedroom, we'll get along just fine.

    So it is nice and cool here now (has been downright cold all week), but we're headed for some hot weather now I think. My sort of sister is coming for a few days and we're riding bikes this afternoon I think. Hot weather would be ok for that.

    I have someone from a forum where I used to be a huge contributor following me around the net and being a mildly menacing jerk. Since we've met in real life and he knows where I live it creeps me out a bit.

    I thought a change in user name would make it more difficult for him AND not end up ruining TE for me.

    Ew - that is nasty! Sorry. Is it that big moto forum that starts with "A"? Haven't been there in a while...
